You collect, sorting centres recycle! All you have to do is put it in the blue bin.
Packaging, containers, printed material. That's it.
No more questioning what can be recycled and what can't be. If it falls into one of the following categories, it goes in the blue bin:
- Packaging
- Container
- Printed material
What about things that previously could not be recycled, like polystyrene and no. 6 plastic?
Polystyrene containers, like the material your meat is packaged with at the grocery store and plastic utensils, is now accepted, with the exception of styrofoam that crumbles! In addition to this, all plastics, regardless of the number, can be put in the blue bin, as long as they fit into one of the three categories listed above.
Plastic bags are also accepted, even multi-layer bags like for chips and coffee.
